Unfortunately, there have been a few of them. Another revelation that appalled us was the existence of individuals whose lives seem to be governed by how they can turn any situation to their own advantage. If their personal agenda is not their prime focus, it is never far behind. They might even be helping, or at least seeming to help, but all the time they are calculating what’s in it for them. There are journalists and ‘criminologists’ I could name whose interest in Madeleine has far less to do with recovering an abducted child than with profiting from her misfortune. They continue to offer their services and ‘expertise’ to promote themselves and make money, often muddying the waters in the process.<br />You wonder what drives some of these people. Avarice? The need to feel important? Or perhaps something lacking in their lives? Perhaps they are just consumed by a sense of worthlessness and hatred. Maybe some human beings are just born that way.<br /><br />-------<br /><br />But surely Kate is talking about herself and Gerry here? How they let their daughter down. How they used Madeleine as 'a good marketing ploy'? How they shamelessly courted the media and exposed their twins to media glare? How Kate, Gerry and their friends refused to help Portuguese and refused to take part in a reconstruction. It goes on and on. Yes, the parents did indeed exploit the 'situation Madeleine found herself in'. In what way, exactly, did Kate and Gerry look after their daughter's best interests?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801098414250557159.post-9883251259776037592018-09-19T17:54:35.852+01:002018-09-19T17:54:35.852+01:00Looks authentic to me.

She always says she will correct any mistakes - well she posted two ancient articles about Gerry McCann and then said "What are they living off if he's only just gone back to work?" It was from 2007! So I left her a message and all she did was delete the comments, no ''thank you'' or acknowledgement.

Yes, it was a repulsive campaign by the BBC/Private Eye/Guardian/Islington gang - repulsive in its self-certainty and even more repulsive for its snobbery to such utter untouchables as the police, you know those common chaps who give you speeding tickets and eat their peas with a knife. <br /><br />But what's more relevant is that Hanratty vehemently denied everything, right up to the moment of his execution. There are some things people lie about because their shame is so deep that they can never, ever, admit them, at least while their mums are still alive...<br /><br />Anything's better than that, even claiming that you were "fitted up". john blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129193861290186160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801098414250557159.post-35162418888092192402018-09-16T15:51:51.162+01:002018-09-16T15:51:51.162+01:00I have several, but unfortunately no way of provin...I have several, but unfortunately no way of proving themNot Textusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268234937980889735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801098414250557159.post-58762469258013567252018-09-16T15:50:16.973+01:002018-09-16T15:50:16.973+01:00What comes through most strongly in the book is th...What comes through most strongly in the book is that the thanks and plaudits are in the main reserved not for those who did the most to try to find their lost child, but for those who, for one reason or another, believed them.<br /><br />I don't know if any of you will remember a famous case in the UK, usually referred to as the A6 murder, in which a man and his girlfriend were hijacked by a man with a gun who, after having them drive around for some hours, made them pull into a layby, where he shot and killed the man and raped and repeatedly shot the woman, before dumping their bodies and stealing the car leaving her for dead. She survived, although paralysed, and picked him out of an ID parade.<br />His name was James Hanratty and to cut a long story short he was convicted and subsequently hanged, in 1962.<br /><br />His family insisted he was innocent and the case was taken up by many famous people including the writers Ludovic Kennedy and Paul Foot. They even succeeded in getting the case referred to the Court of Appeal. For many years it was the most celebrated miscarriage of justice case on the books.<br /><br />Eventually DNA techniques were developed and the two pieces of evidence believed to hold the DNA of the killer were tested and compared with samples from Hanratty's surviving relatives. The expectation was that they would show a miscarriage of justice had occured.<br /><br />Instead, what they showed was a familial match.<br /><br />On that basis, the Lord Chief Justice ordered an exhumation and DNA from Hanratty was obtained which proved to be a 100% match. Hanratty, who had been held up as a miscarriage of justice for so long, had been the killer after all.<br /><br />The point is, it matters not how much support one has, or the nature and high profile of that support.

Any normal human would hardly even register when they showered last. When your kids need you, you don't exist. Sorry about that. <br /><br />"Not sure how I feel about seeing Mr Amaral – for the first time ever, I hasten to add! I know I’m not scared..." - Scared? Why on earth would you be scared Kate? Hmm? <br /><br />"I didn’t think his daughter could possibly be as beautiful as Madeleine" - oh honestly. Fuck off. Is this the time for a pissing contest? Vile. <br /><br />"Another revelation that appalled us was the existence of individuals whose lives seem to be governed by how they can turn any situation to their own advantage. If their personal agenda is not their prime focus, it is never far behind." - Still feeling like she didn't exist, Kate McCann took to the mirror to have a word. <br /><br />SadeElishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698415942772873436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801098414250557159.post-38528128757378842582018-09-15T13:27:45.819+01:002018-09-15T13:27:45.819+01:00'madeleine' (sic) is a psychoanalysist'...'madeleine' (sic) is a psychoanalysist's wet dream.A horrifying glimpse into the mind of Kate Healy.
